You missed my point. You're arguing in bad faith by taking 'left' and 'right' from one context (eating) and applying them to another (politics), which makes no sense.
I understand where you are coming from but let us dig deeper into the language itself. Sinister in Latin means, "left hand". Also in French the word for left hand is guache which is "vulgar".

You can show the horse where the water is but you can't make him drink.
Please forgive me for not being clear regarding the etymology of words and the cultural distinction of left. Not only is the horse that you are beating thirsty but it is also dead.
